The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 509

We know that Wang Hong was brought out by Lao Tan, without Lao Tan, Wang Hong would not be what he is today - one of the best dumpling chefs in the provincial capital.

Wang Hong has always been grateful to Lao Tan in his heart. When he heard that Lao Tan had cancer, he was very uncomfortable. He wanted to visit but had no chance, and Lao Tan almost never returned to the provincial capital.

She called Lao Tan, and Lao Tan told her it was fine, it would be fine in at most two years.She believed what Lao Tan said, but she couldn't see people's hearts, so she kept talking about it and couldn't let it go.

Sometimes she would chat with Yingzi about Old Tan's illness, and every time she chatted with Yingzi, she would say that my brother is a good man and that nothing will happen, and he will definitely recover if he says yes.Then the tears came down, sobbing silently.

When Yingzi cried, she also felt uncomfortable, and for a long time she dared not mention the old story in front of Yingzi.

"You're scaring me to death."

Wang Hong's eyes were red, and she changed from a man-in-law into a little woman, but Lao Tan's injured arm immediately irritated her again.

"How old are you, do you still think you are young? No matter what?" The reproachful tone was full of concern and distress, which made people feel comfortable.

Old Tan laughed, "Don't talk about me, I guess you have to take care of it when you see it."

"I don't care about it." Wang Hong curled her lips, and then said: "There are such things, and I can't handle them. Now let alone little girls or boys, they are all like that. They meet for dinner, drink and open a room within a few days of chatting online. It doesn't matter anymore."

"It seems that you have watched it." Old Tan said.

"You still need to look at it, why don't you know when you open your phone? College students used to open rooms, but now even junior high school students dare. I said that those who run hotels can make any money. Junior high school students just don't know how old they are? Return them to register. ?”

Old Tan laughed and said, "It's for making money."

"All I earn is money with no conscience!"

When Yingzi came out of the dumpling room, Yingzi asked Lao Tan to come to her house for dinner at night, and said that Wang Hong and his wife would also go, and Lao Tan happily agreed.

Lao Tan walked through four stores in one day and felt very good.

Every store is booming and full of customers, and there are varying degrees of waiting for seats.The quality of the dishes has been greatly improved, and the service is more standardized and enthusiastic than before.These achievements have been accurately reflected in the dining atmosphere of the guests, which is obvious to all.

Of course, the most convincing thing is the amount of money sold, which is not the slightest increase compared with the same period in previous years.

Lao Tan also watched Zhang Xiangdong's first day of the new year. His business was good, but he lacked soul. From his point of view, he couldn't last long.

Unfortunately, when Lao Tan came back this time, Zhang Li and Lao Huang went on a trip and did not see each other.I am somewhat regretful and at the same time wish Zhang Li - the greatest happiness in life is to enjoy life happily instead of being burdened by life.

Zhang Li said on the phone that she and Lao Huang were in Huangshan, and after visiting Huangshan, they went to Putuo, and then transferred to Lijiang.Ask Lao Tan if he will go, if he goes, wait for him in Huangshan.

Old Tan said no, he didn't want to be sprinkled with dog food.Zhang Li giggled, her laughter was full of satisfaction and contentment, and happiness.

At sunset and dusk, the sky above the city reflects the sunset glow, rendering the beauty of the world with gold and color.

There are more cars on the road, just like the electric cars, bicycles, and shared bicycles on the sidewalk. The drivers and cyclists rush home with a happy mood, and there are beautiful wives, husbands, children, parents, and posing in front of them. Delicious meals on the table.

Lao Tan picked up his son and prepared to go to Yingzi's house. It stands to reason that he should take Lin Yan with him, and it's fine if Lin Yan hasn't got off work.Only Wang Shulan knows about Lao Tan's divorce, and he doesn't want to tell others yet.

Hey, there are a lot of people talking, and people are the most difficult to keep secrets. I don't want my son to know that my parents are divorced, at least not now.

"Dad, I got 50,000 yuan for going to the fifth high school during the Chinese New Year." Said the son.

"Okay, no problem." Old Tan said.

"I'm the lowest, [-] other sports students."

"Go through the back door?" Old Tan asked.

"I performed well, and the coach of No. [-] Middle School asked for it by name." The son said with some pride.

Lao Tan touched his son's head and found that his son had grown taller again, so he had to raise his arm to touch it, and smiled gratifiedly.

After entering Yingzi's house, Lao Tan found that there was another person in the room besides Wang Hong and Lao Fang-Zhu Debao.He was stunned for a moment, then he understood what was going on, and smiled friendlyly at Zhu Debao.

Zhu Debao shyly and nervously said, "Mr. Tan is here."

Old Tan nodded.

"Brave-brained, what's your name, Mr. Tan, brother?" Wang Hong pointed at Zhu Debao to teach him a lesson, and Zhu Debao's already red face became even redder.

Yingzi, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard the movement, first called Lao Tan "Brother", and then called her daughter: "Ruoxi, Jiaheng is here."

Ruoxi had already walked out of the room, called Lao Tan "Hi Uncle!", and then led Jiaheng to play.

Yingzi said: "Sit down, there is only one soup short." Then he said to Zhu Debao: "Serve the dishes on top, don't stand stupidly."

Zhu Debao followed Yingzi into the kitchen to serve dishes, and Lao Tan questioned Wang Hong and Lao Fang with his eyes.

Wang Hong moved the stool and said, "The two of you have been together for half a year. I didn't know about it at first, but I found out later."

Lao Fang said, "Good thing, I think it's pretty good."

"Yeah." Lao Tan nodded, "I think it's pretty good."

The food was served quickly, and the table was full.

Yingzi was very happy today, even a little excited.She took the wine glass and stood up and said to Lao Tan: "Brother, I am so happy to see you today. This glass of wine is toast to you. I wish you a speedy recovery, good health and happiness."

Everyone drank the first glass of wine together.

As soon as the wine glass was put down, Jia Heng, who was drinking, said in a puzzled way: "Aunt Yingzi, my dad's arm will be healed in a few days after the stitches are removed. It's not that serious. Why do you wish him a speedy recovery?"

The child's words reminded everyone that he didn't know that his father had cancer.

"Oh——" Yingzi immediately explained: "Don't laugh at Auntie, who tells Auntie that she doesn't study well, and she can't find words when she's happy."

The five adults laughed at the same time, and the two children also laughed.

Ruoxi pushed Jiaheng with her elbow, and said in a low voice, "My mom means to wish your dad a quick recovery, you don't even understand that."

"I understand—" Jia Heng whispered.

"I don't think you understand, it's on purpose."

"No---"

"It's better not to, or I won't show you the class notes."

"Not really."

Hehe, order tofu in brine, and one thing will drop one thing.

After Yingzi's slip of the tongue just now, the adults stopped mentioning things related to illness and health, and chatted about the family's short stories and trivial life, but it was also lively.

The two children quickly finished their meal without drinking. Before leaving the table, Ruoxi filled the wine glasses of the five adults, and filled the glasses of herself and Jiaheng, and then got up.

"First of all, I wish Uncle Tan's arm a quick recovery, and that he can serve a large spoonful of stir-fried vegetables. Then—" She looked at her mother and Uncle Zhu beside her, "I wish my mother and Uncle Zhu good health and happiness!"

The little girl pursed her lips and smiled triumphantly, drank her drink and went back to the house with Jiaheng, leaving Yingzi and Zhu Debao blushing, full of adult shyness and embarrassment.

In fact, Yingzi's eyes burst into tears immediately after her daughter finished speaking—tears of relief, shed for her daughter's sensibility and contentment.

"Debao, you are blessed. I only have this younger sister. I'm not threatening you if you say something ugly. If you dare to treat my younger sister badly—huh! You should know what the consequences will be." Old Tan joked.

"Don't worry, Mr. Tan, I will treat her well." Zhu Debao said.

"You say you are so stupid and you still don't admit it. You are still called Mr. Tan. When are you still called Mr. Tan? If you call me again, they will take my sister back!" Wang Hong pointed at Zhu Debao again to give a stern lesson.
